SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,339, dated April 30, 1889. Application filed Pebruaryl, '1889. J'Serial No. 300,167. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, HENRY W. LYON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridge port, in the county ofv Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Method of Making Button-Strips; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has reference to certain newv and useful improvements in the method of making button-strips for use in corsets and other garments; and it consists in forming a strip of webbing with transverse pockets, within which latter the button-carrying tapes are inserted and4 secured by stitching, as will be hereinafter set forth in the description and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a plan of a button-strip made in accordance with my method; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section of said strip; Fig. 3, a cross-section taken through said strip and one of the buttons, and Fig. 4 a detail perspective of the strip containing the pockets.

Similar figures denote like parts in the several views.

l is a strip of webbing, and 2 are transverse pockets woven therein and open at both ends.

The tapes 3 are inserted within and through the pockets 2 and formed into loops at the front of said pockets, and said loops are threaded during their formation through the button-strip in such a manner that it will be cheap and durable and may be sold at wholesale by the yard or other measurement.

What I claim as new is- The method of making button-strips, the same consisting in forming within a strip of webbing a series of ilexible transverse pockets open at both ends, inserting tape iatwise within and through said pockets and forming loops extending from thefront of said pockets,'threading said loops during their formation through the buttons, and stitching said' strip lengthwise at the front and rear edges through said pockets and tapes, substantially las set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY NV. LYON.
